1. Introduction
1.1 Bluetooth Technology
The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the
wireless exchange of data between two devices. In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection.
Before a connection is established, one device must request a connection with another. The second device accepts (or rejects) the
connection.
The originator of the request is known as the client. The
device that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as the server.
Many Bluetooth devices can act as both client and server.
A client Bluetooth device runs a software program that requests a connection to another device as part of its normal operation.
For example, the program may request a connection to a remote
computer, a printer, or a modem. Becoming a Bluetooth client
normally requires an action by the device operator, such as an
attempt to browse a remote computer, print a file, or dial out on a
modem.
Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must be prepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth software is
always running in the background on the server, ready to respond to
connection requests.
1.2 MSI™ Bluetooth USB Dongle
MSI™ Bluetooth USB Dongle provides wireless technology
that revolutionizes personal connectivity. It is the solution for the

MSI Reminds You...
The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth
Places is active.
Periodic Search for Devices
Bluetooth can be configured to automatically search for devices on a regular basis (Bluetooth Configuration Panel >
Discovery tab).
One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility that the
wireless connections allow. However, mobility means that
devices may move in or out of connection range during the
time between the automatic updates performed by Bluetooth.
To be certain that the displayed list of devices in the neighborhood is current, or if automatic periodic inquiry is not
enabled, force an update of the device list using the technique
described in Search for Devices, above.
17
BToes Bluetooth USB Dongle
Some devices within connection range may not show up in
the list of devices found because:
Your device is configured to report only specific types
or classes of devices (Bluetooth Configuration Panel
> Discovery tab, on your device).
The unlisted device is configured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Accessibility
tab, on the unlisted device).
6. Find A Service
The process of determining the services that a device provides is called Service Discovery.
To initiate a Service Discovery, in the Folders pane of My
Bluetooth Places, right-click a device name and select Discover Available Services from the shortcut menu.
Bluetooth services are those things that this computer can
do for remote Bluetooth devices. For example, if this computer allows a remote Bluetooth device to send a fax using a
fax modem that is physically attached to this computer,
then this computer is providing the Bluetooth fax service.
Some services are hardware dependant; this computer cannot provide the fax service unless it has a physical fax modem,
for example.
Some Bluetooth services use virtual “hardware.” The
Bluetooth Serial Port service, for example, does not use a
physical port on this computer. Instead, it creates virtual
serial ports that Windows applications can see and use as if
they were actual physical ports.
Each Bluetooth service that this computer is capable of providing can be started automatically when Bluetooth starts.
Each service can be setup to require security measures before
18
User’s Guide
allowing a remote Bluetooth device to connect.
Bluetooth services require a Bluetooth application on the
remote device; services and applications usually have coinciding names; i.e., there is a Bluetooth Fax Service and a
Bluetooth Fax Application.
The services supported by Bluetooth are:
Bluetooth Serial Port—a wireless connection between
two devices. This connection can be used by applications as though a physical serial cable connected the
devices.
Dial-up Networking—allows a device to use a modem
that is physically attached to another Bluetooth device.
Fax—allows a device to send a fax using a remote
Bluetooth cell phone, modem, or computer.
File Transfer—allows a device to perform file system
operations on another Bluetooth device; browse, open,
copy, etc.
Headset—allows a Bluetooth headset to be used as the
audio input/output mechanism for another Bluetooth
device, such as a computer or cell phone.
PIM Item Transfer—allows two Bluetooth devices to
exchange Personal Information Manager data such as
business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes.
PIM Synchronization—allows two Bluetooth devices
to synchronize Personal Information Manager data.
Network Access—allows a device to access a Local
Area Network via a second Bluetooth device that is
physically connected to the network or allows a remote device to become part of an ad hoc network
provided by the Bluetooth server.
Audio Gateway—allows the microphone/speakers on
Bluetooth device (typically a computer) to be used as
19
BToes Bluetooth USB Dongle
the audio input/output mechanism for a remote
Bluetooth device, such as a cell phone.
All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these
services. For example, network gateways may provide only
the Network Access service.
7. Bluetooth Connection Status
The Bluetooth Connection Status dialog box displays information about the state of a connection and provides a means
to disconnect an active connection.
Display the Connection Status dialog box: in My
Bluetooth Places, from the Folders pane, select a device, and

6. Bluetooth Services
Common Configuration Settings
These properties can be set individually for each Bluetooth
service:
Service Name-the default name of each service can
be changed.
Secure Connection-requires that remote devices
provide proof of identity and that all data be
encrypted.
Startup Automatically-starts the service automatically when Bluetooth is started.
Notifications-provides visual and/or audio notification that a remote device is attempting to connect
(or has connected) to a service on this computer.
44
User’s Guide
* Notifications
Overview
There are three types of notification:
Authentication request, also called a PIN code request—this notification appears automatically in a
balloon over the Windows system tray if a Personal
Identification Code is required before a connection
can proceed. An audio file can also be associated with
the notification.
Authorization request, also called a connection request—this type of notification can be visual, audio,
or both. It notifies you of attempts to access a
Bluetooth service on this computer; the connection
will not proceed until you click the balloon that appears over the Windows system tray. If the notification balloon is ignored, the connection request will
time out and fail.
Notification only—this type of notification does not
effect access in any way; it is solely for information
purposes to let you know that a connection has been
established.
Example
Both Authentication and Authorization request notifications
are controlled by whether Secure Connection is enabled for
an individual service.
An example of how notifications might work when a remote
device attempts to access a service on this computer, if all
notifications are enabled:
1. Authentication: a balloon notification (audio optional)
appears to prompt for a PIN code. If the PIN code
45
BToes Bluetooth USB Dongle
does not match the code entered on the remote device,
the connection will not be allowed. Once the remote
device has been authenticated this notification will
not appear again, unless the paired relationship is broken and the devices must repair.
2. Authorization: a balloon notification appears and/or a
sound file provides audio notification that a remote
device is attempting to access a Bluetooth service on
this computer. Click the balloon to proceed. A dialog
box appears that offers the option of letting the connection proceed this time only or to always allow this
particular remote device to use the service it is attempting to access.
3. Once a connection has been authorized, an additional
visual and/or audio notification may appear (if
enabled). This notification is for information only to
inform the operator that a connection has been
established.
After two devices are paired (step 1, above), the authentication notification will no longer appear when a connection is
attempted.
If “Always allow…” is enabled during the authorization process (step 2, above), the authorization notification will not
appear on future connection attempts.
Connection notification (step 3, above) only happens if it
has been enabled on the Notifications tab of the individual
service being accessed.
Service Access Notification
“Notifications” lets you associate a sound (Windows *.wav
file) and/or a visual indication with access attempts by re-
46
User’s Guide
mote devices.
A different notification sound can be associated with each
local Bluetooth service.
Associate a sound with service access
From the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, Local Services tab:
1. Double-click a service name and then select the Notifications tab.
2. Check the desired options; visual and sound may both
be selected for a single event.
3. Choose a sound; click the Browse button and navigate

3.4 Security
1. Authentication
Authentication is used to verify identity; it requires a passkey or link key from the remote device. When a remote
device attempts access, a visual and/or audio warning notifies
the local operator.
If the notification is ignored, access is denied after a preset
timeout.
When devices are “paired,” those devices automatically exchange a Link Key and Authentication is carried out without
operator intervention.
2. Authorization
Authorization is Yes-or-No security that requires operator
intervention to avoid having the connection time out and
fail.
68
User’s Guide
Authorization is limited to:
Yes, you may connect (click the balloon to proceed)
No, you may not connect (ignore the balloon prompt
and the connection will fail).
3. Bluetooth Device Identity
Every Bluetooth device has a unique Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) assigned to it during the manufacturing process.
This address cannot be changed by the end-user.
A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format;
00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a valid BDA.
Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-configurable,
user-friendly name to help distinguish it from other devices.
The user-friendly name may be up to 99 alphanumeric characters in length and may contain spaces. My Personal Computer is a valid user-friendly name.
4. Encryption
Encrypting data translates it into an unreadable format using
a secret key or password. Decrypting the data requires the
same key or password that was used to encrypt it.
5. Link Key
A unique, internally generated, access code based on a
passkey, the Bluetooth Device Address and an internally
generated random number.. Link Keys are generated automatically when devices Pair.
After a link key is generated, manual entry of the passkey is
not required.
69
BToes Bluetooth USB Dongle
6. Pairing Devices
Pairing allows you to avoid entering access information each
time a connection is attempted. Paired devices share a unique
Link Key, which they exchange each time they connect.
MSI Reminds You...
The mate of a pair always appears in My Bluetooth
Places, even if the mate is not turned on or is out of
connection range.
Paired devices remain paired even when
One of the devices is not on
A service connection is interrupted or the service
stopped
One or both devices are rebooted.
To Pair with another device
If Secure Connection is enabled, devices will pair automatically the first time they connect (a passkey must be successfully exchanged).
To pair with a device manually:
In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a
device, select Pair Device from the shortcut menu, and then
follow the on-screen instructions.
Remove Pairing
In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a
paired device and select Unpair Device from the shortcut
menu.
70
User’s Guide
7. Passkey
An alphanumeric string up to 16 characters in length. Passkeys are also called Personal Identification Numbers, or PIN
codes.
A passkey may be required if the Secure Connection option
is enabled for a Bluetooth service or application.
8. Secure Connection
A passkey or link key is required each time a connection is
attempted.
All data exchanged over the Bluetooth connection is
encrypted.
Depending on other configuration options, authorization
may also be required.
9. Security Request Dialog Box
A Bluetooth passkey request and/or Bluetooth Authorization request balloon may appear over the Windows system
tray when a connection is attempted if Secure Connection is
enabled.
Click the balloon to proceed.

3.5 Troubleshooting
1. Cannot connect to a paired device
Paired devices are always displayed in My Bluetooth Places,
even if the remote device is out of range or not powered up.
Verify that the remote member of the pair is within radio
range, and powered up, and then attempt the connection again.
2. Cannot discover services on an unpaired remote device
The remote device may not be powered up or may be out of
range.
Verify that the remote device is powered up.
Verify that the remote device is in Connectable mode
(Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Accessibility tab).
Perform a Search for Devices to verify that the device is within range.
3. Dial-up Networking service does not start
The Dial-up Networking service will not start unless a properly configured modem is attached to the server.
Verify that the modem is usable as a local device on
the computer to which it is attached.
In the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, Local Services tab, double-click the Dial-up Networking
service:
Click the down arrow in the Modem field and select
the modem that will be used to dial out
Click the OK button
72
User’s Guide
Click the OK button to close the Bluetooth Configuration Panel.
4. Determine the Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) of my hardware device
In the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, on the Hardware tab, in
the Devices section, select the device you want to determine
the address of. In the Device Properties section of the dialog
box, the fourth entry, Device Address, is the BDA of the
selected Bluetooth device.
5. Determine the version of the Host Controller Interface (HCI)
In the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, on the Hardware tab, in
the Device Properties section, the fifth entry provides
Bluetooth Specification compliance information for the Host
Controller Interface.
The sixth entry contains the Specification Revision information for the Host Controller Interface, if appropriate.
6. Determine the version of the Link Manager Protocol (LMP)
In the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, on the Hardware tab, in
the Device Properties section, the seventh entry provides
Link Manager Protocol version number information.
The eighth entry contains the Link Manager Protocol subversion number information, if appropriate.
7. Find information about the Bluetooth hardware attached to
73
BToes Bluetooth USB Dongle
my computer
In the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, select the Hardware
tab.
8. Internet Connection Sharing Does Not Work
This occurs because Internet Connection Sharing was enabled
when Bluetooth was installed (this is a Microsoft Windows
behavior and is considered proper operation).
To resolve the “problem”:
1. Disable Sharing for the Ethernet adapter:
a) Windows Control Panel > Network and Dial-up Connections
b) Right-click “Local Area Connection,” select
Properties, and then select the Sharing tab.
c) Clear (uncheck) the box for “Enable Internet Connection Sharing for this connection” and click OK.
2. Re-enable Sharing for the Ethernet adapter; repeat
Step 1.c.), and select (check) the sharing box.
If offered an option to select an adapter, select “Bluetooth
network adapter.” (This option will not appear unless more
than one adapter is available.)
If asked to reboot the computer, do so.
9. Test a Network Access connection
If the client is hardwired to the LAN, unplug the hardwired
connection to ensure that the test checks the wireless connection rather than the hardwired connection.
If the server has access to the Internet, open a browser on the
client and connect to the World Wide Web.
74
User’s Guide
You may also Ping the server from the DOS prompt.
10. Unknown Port message when using a Bluetooth Serial
Port
The “Unknown Port” error message usually means an attempt was made to connect a port that was in use.
Additional Bluetooth Serial Ports can be added if they are
required.
11. Bluetooth Headset Doesn’t Always Function Under WIN
98
Windows 98 cannot convert audio files with the extension
m3u (e.g., myfile.m3u) into the Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
audio format used by Bluetooth headsets; this is a limitation
of Windows 98.
Other versions of Windows (2000, ME and XP) can translate
m3u audio files into the PCM format.
Possible solutions are:
Upgrade to a newer version of Windows
Use an m3u-to-mp3 conversion utility to convert the
file(s) into a format that is supported by Windows 98.
(Conversion utilities are available as freeware or
shareware on the Internet.)

4.9 Troubleshooting
1. My mobile phone cannot interact with my computer.
I. Bluetooth:
1. Ensure that your mobile phone supports Bluetooth;
2. Ensure that Bluetooth operation mode of the computer is properly configured and the mobile phone isn't
off;
3. Ensure the mobile phone isn't out of the radio range of
your PC's Bluetooth device
4. Ensure that your mobile phone has paired to the
computer's Bluetooth radio.
IrDA:
1. Ensure that your mobile phone supports IrDA;
2. Ensure that IrDA operation mode of your computer is
properly configured and the mobile phone isn't off;
3. Ensure the mobile phone's IrDA port has been directly
aimed at your computer's.
II. The Mobilet utility doesn’t support all types of mobile
phones. Check whether your mobile phone is supported
by Mobilet.
III. If the problem still exists, log off your computer and pair
again.
108
User’s Guide
2. Some characters fail to show correctly in Mobilet.
In order to avoid this problem, you must keep computer's OS
language code consistent with the mobile phone's. For
example, if your mobile phone is running in a traditional
Chinese OS, your PC must run in traditional Chinese OS as
well.
3. I can't operate some functions because the control items are
disabled (grayed out).
1. Your mobile phone may not be able to support those
functions.
For example, Ericsson's Emelody format doesn't support
setting style, rate, and volume.
2. The working area associated with the control items didn't
get focused.
When the right area gets focused, the control items will be
enabled.

4. My mobile phone number fails to show in the right position
in the Phonebook.
This problem usually occurs when you copy phone numbers
from the SIM card to the Phonebook in Mobilet. Try resetting the phone number to the right position.
5. Wrong information in the Phonebook/SIM card/Calendar.
Reload the information.
6. Melodies cannot be uploaded from Mobilet to my mobile
phone.
Ensure that your mobile phone supports the format of the
melody uploaded.
7. The short messages sent by Mobilet contain some unknown
characters.
1. If Eastern language texts (characters with more than 8
bits), such as Chinese or Japanese, were contained in your
message, please ensure that you have checked
2. If the message you sent is EMS (enhanced message service),
ensure that both mobile phones support EMS.
8. The EMS received isn't the same as the one sent in Mobilet.
Ensure that both mobile phones support EMS' sub-features
used in the short message.

6. Glossary
BDA
Bluetooth Device Address. Every Bluetooth device has a unique
48-bit binary Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) burned into its
Read-Only Memory (ROM). This address cannot be changed
by the end-user.
A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format;
00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a valid BDA.
Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-configurable, userfriendly name to help distinguish it from other Bluetooth
devices. The user-friendly name may be up to 99 alphanumeric
characters in length and may contain spaces. My Personal
Computer is a valid user-friendly name.
Device Inquiry
The process of searching for other Bluetooth devices.
DHCP
